If you are into music and recording, then you
are probably interested in the gear used on this CD too.
This is my PRS Custom 24 with 'Artist Package' Quilt Top
Needless to say, I love PRS guitars. They play great, sound great, and their looks
ain't half bad either!
I also have a Ron Thorn custom built guitar,
that I just received on 8/13/2004. I am looking forward to using it on the next
volume of Guitaria. You can click here to see Thorn #049.
This is my Boss
GT-6 processor. Just about all the guitar sounds on 'Guitaria' came out of this
processor. I prefer processors like this and the Digitech below because you can
store sounds in the processor and pull them up at the touch of a footswitch. I
pretty much use this one for recording and the one below for playing live.
The rack I use live contains my other processor,
a Digitech 2120,
and my 1980 vintage
MESA Boogie Mark II Amp.
I am using an Event EZ-Bus to interface my
gear to my computer. It is really three devices in one. It is a digital mixer,
software controller and high quality sound card. (top pic)

I am running Windows XP on a HP 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 machine.
My recording software is Cakewalk Sonar. I
added an additional 160gig hard drive to my PC for recording audio and processing video
files.
I used my brother's Peavy
Grind 5-String Bass on "Praylude" and "The Awakening". Even
though this is not a high dollar bass, I love the 'punch' and overall sound this guitar
has. I wish it had been available for me to use on all of the tracks.
The acoustic guitar used on "Calming the Storm"
is my mid-70's Gibson Hummingbird with a L.R.Baggs iBeam pickup
in it. Click here for more information on the Hummingbird.
